Background:
Old card: Radeon 5450
System: 16 GB Crucial RAM, iCore 5 3.8 Ghz, Gigabyte Z77-DS3H MB (PCIe 3 compatible), 750W PSU, Windows 8.1
I bought a new Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 yesterday, and it installed great, worked fine. Tested it on a couple of games, worked in Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC. Everything was great.
I woke up this morning and the PC was stuck in a boot cycle. The boot cycle didn't even get to the MB splash screen, nor turn the monitor on.
I re-seated all connections, and still the same problem. I removed it, and put in the old card. It is stuck trying to updated Windows 8.1 now. That problem has been ongoing, and is not part of the GTX 660 issue. BTW: the update won't update (turning update off as soon as I can) In other words, it is working as it did before with the old card.
Everything worked yesterday. The old card worked fine before I put the new card in.
Before you say reinstall windows, note one very important fact, with the GTX 660 in the PC, it would not even get to the MB splash screen, IE - NOT A WINDOWS PROBLEM.
Before you say, get a new PSU: the recommended PSU is 400W, I have 750W. Also, now I can't boot with my old Video Card.
I need help ASAP. I am on a POS laptop, and have a lot of things to get done this week.
